MCT Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 all setup.exe does is launch the msi.. it does some other checks 2, but thats not really important here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazkal Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 hi is any way to install this tools on @t-12 or @t-13 or RunOnceEx ? koszopalI install vmware tools at RunOnceEx. I'll give you what I did to get it to work.I have an "Apps" folder on my DVD with all the programs I install. If you don't do this, then you'll have to modify for your method.Take the windows.iso, and extract the contents to a folder named "VMWare Tools".How ever you call your installs, you'll need to modify this command line (I use Wise9, but no one else does, so you have to figure it out for your method):%SYS32%\msiexec.exe /i "%CDROM%\Apps\VMWare Tools\VMware Tools.msi" /qbNOTE: You want to call this with some kind of "Wait" command, so your install will wait for it to finish, before going on.If you use "/qn" instead of "/qb" it will auto restart after the install is done. I don't want it to restart right there, so I pass it the "/qb" switch.I then have an AutoIt script that waits for the popup prompt asking if it can reboot the system, and it tells it no.Here is the code for the autoit script:LOOP:Sleep, 1000IfWinExist, System Settings Change, , Goto, SYSTEMIfWinExist, VMware Tools, You must restart, Goto, VMWAREGoto, LOOPSYSTEM:WinWaitActive, System Settings ChangeSend, !ngoto, LOOPVMWARE:WinWaitActive, VMware Tools, You must restartSend, !nGoto, LOOPI call this script before I call the VMware Tools with "Wait".I'll attach the compiled exe and source of this script below.Hope this helps.script.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazkal Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 what are VMWare tools? Are they important?Only if you are using VMWare. They are tools that allow you to copy and paste clipboard and files into your virtual machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emull Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 @bucketbuster ive tryed but didnt find any interesting(i searched "any day")@mct hmm i dont know but i ve got windows.iso and there is setup.exe ive tryed install this on runonexex phase but either by autoit and wshell didt work it just hangout there when installing svga driver <{POST_SNAPBACK}>hit ctrl+alt+del, and go to the task manager. when the svga driver installation hangs, select the new hardware found-application in the taskbar, and choose switch to. that should solve your problem.

doablesandman Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 (edited) %SYS32%\msiexec.exe /i "%CDROM%\Apps\VMWare Tools\VMware Tools.msi" /qbNOTE: You want to call this with some kind of "Wait" command, so your install will wait for it to finish, before going on.If you use "/qn" instead of "/qb" it will auto restart after the install is done. I don't want it to restart right there, so I pass it the "/qb" switch.I then have an AutoIt script that waits for the popup prompt asking if it can reboot the system, and it tells it no.it is an .msi file so you can just use REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS after the /qb or /qn, the difference is that /qb shows a "basic gui" ie. the progress bar and a restart box (unless you use REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS and then it just displays the progress bar) and /qn means "no gui". so no need for the autoIT script and you can actually call the exe by using "YOURFOLDERLOCATION\setup.exe /S /v"/qb REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS"the /S tells it is it silent and the /v passes commands to the msi Edited June 19, 2006 by doablesandman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
